What's New in SAS/SHARE 9.3
Overview
The following features
are new or enhanced for
SAS/SHARE 9.3:
-
support for extended data set and
library names with the integration of the new VALIDMEMNAME system
option into
SAS/SHARE
-
full support for the THREADEDTCP
option in the SERVER procedure
-
documentation enhancements
Extended SAS Library Names with VALIDMEMNAME
SAS/SHARE 9.3 offers
you greater flexibility when naming SAS library members (data set
names, data views, and item stores) with the integration of the new
VALIDMEMNAME= system option. The option extends the allowable characters
in a SAS member name to international characters, characters supported
by third-party databases, some special characters, and characters
comprising names of up to 32 bytes in length.
This option has been
enhanced in
SAS/SHARE to allow for client-side control of extended
library names, regardless of what is set on the server. The value
that you specify for this option when connecting with a
SAS/SHARE
9.3 client will take precedence over the server setting for that session.
THREADEDTCP Option on PROC SERVER
The previously experimental
option, THREADEDTCP, is now fully supported in the PROC SERVER statement
for SAS 9.3. The option specifies whether the threaded version of
the TCP access method and associated threaded infrastructure should
be used when TCP/IP communication is specified. Threading enables
multiple, concurrent reception and transmission activity when the
server runs on SMP hardware.
Enhancements to Document
A section has been added
that describes how SAS syntax is represented in this document. This
section describes how various text styles (for example, uppercase
bold) and special characters (for example, angle brackets) are used
to represent various parts of SAS language syntax.
